Abstract	This report provides data on the academic achievement gap that separates low-income and minority students from other students, examining how well different groups of students perform in Florida and noting inequities in teacher quality, course offerings, and funding. Included are tables and data that provide: a frontier gap analysis (a comparison of Florida to the leaders in achievement and gap closing); student profile (the demographic distribution of youth in Florida); state performance (academic achievement and educational attainment); opportunity (well prepared teachers, challenging curricula, special student placements, effective instruction, and annual per pupil investments); minority achievement gains, state by state; and analysis of minority-white achievement gaps by subject area and grade level. African American 8th graders in Florida score about 4 years behind white 8th graders in the state in math, 3 years behind in reading and science, and more than 2 years behind in writing. Hispanic 8th graders score more 2 years behind white 8th graders in the state in math, science, and reading and about 1 year behind in writing. The state's poor/non-poor achievement gap would close for 8th graders in science if poor students in Florida scored as well as poor students in North Dakota. (Contains 24 references.) (SM)
